I love Mount Holyoke so far! I'm enjoying it so much more than High School! I'm loving being on the rowing team, and reading and learning new and interesting things and having great, interesting, thought-provoking discussions both in class and out. The vegan food options are great and plentiful and my dorm (Safford) is really nice (except its really hot and has really squeaky floors). I think M&Cs and mountain day make the school unique. I would definitely choose Moho again even though it doesn't have quite as good financial aid as Smith.

Campus housing at Mount Holyoke can be best described as an endless sleepover. Being at an all women's college such as Mount Holyoke does have its perks! Imagine having a spacious room with hardwood floors and a rustic feel. Not to mention the walk-in closets and full length mirrors on every floor, it's every girls dream. Every floor has its own kitchen space with a sink and microwave, maybe even a stove! Almost every dorm (except a select few), has a dining hall right downstairs! Imagine waking up and not wanting to change from your pjs to grab some breakfast, well then just go downstairs and have a wide range of selections to choose from. Let's not forget the amazing roommate policy where each person is matched together by hand by a professional who sits at a coffee shop and reviews EVERYONE'S extensive surveys that are filled out to match the best candidates together as roommates. They have a 99% success rate and for those that do wish to change their roommate are just looking for a single room to themselves. Singles and suites are available to upperclassmen and are given out by first come-first served basis. Housing costs and food are both included in room and board which isn't that bad considering you get 3 meals a day PLUS spending money for snacks and etc.

While Mount Holyoke College is far from perfect, it has been a place where I feel physically and emotionally safe; the things that matter most to me are the things that the school offers: kind students of diverse backgrounds and identities, academic support, physical safety initiatives, and basic needs of daily living (food, water, living space) are all met. These are the things that matter most to me that I have been satisfied with at Mount Holyoke College. I absolutely love the athletics program, which is another important piece of the experience to me. The fact that I have been able to compete alongside like-minded caring individuals towards a common goal of teamwork and success has been a privilege to me that I greatly appreciate. After I leave MHC, I will have these friends who I met on and off the athletic fields. The relationships will surely remain even after I graduate, which is very valuable to me. This ability to make lasting connections with kind, inspiring, likeminded and caring individuals is an aspect of the school that I will forever me thankful for no matter what minor flaws the institution has.
